Adventure Film School
Avalanche Training and Snow Camping! Our next Adventure Film School will be held in the Colorado snow. This
adventure, January 23-28th, will be a multi-day backcountry ski trip
combined with an avalanche safety course. Not only will you learn from the pros how to shoot in the elements, we will give you the information you need to get out on back country skis, camp in the snow (one night only) and be aware of the risks. The editing session and film
screening will take place in Boulder in the days immediately after. Logistics are coming together so please visit
www.adventurefilmschool.com
for more information as we get closer to winter.  Want to meet our team and current students to see what we are about? Instructors and students from Adventure Film School Peru will all be together as we premier the student
films on November 16
at 7:00pm in the Atlas Auditorium on the Boulder CU campus ( Directions to Atlas). Students will be editing furiously right up until the premier - expect them to be tired but excited. This is a free event with prizes so come early to reserve your seats and see films
about Peruvian Shaman, pet rocks on the Inca Trail and more! We would also like
to extend a gracious thank you to our friends at Apple Computers, The University of Colorado and Wyndham Hannaway and Associates for helping to make the Boulder editing
session and the premier possible. Photo Credit: Elias Bachmann

Now Airing on Television...
We hope you have been catching the television shows that Serac Adventure Films has worked on as part of the filming crews. We chased tornadoes for the Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers, froze in Alaska for Toughest Race on Earth: Iditarod, and climbed up a few lofty towers for spectacular images in National Geographic's World's Toughest Fixes.
